Mine are starting to pit,just like the 18" plastic(chrome)wheels and I was wondering if the piece around the lights can be painted black to match the rest of the bumper. This way I won't have to get this replaced each year,just like the wheels(of which I'm getting replaced next wednesday).Any thoughts? TIA

I also found one on ebay and if I'm the highest bidder(25.00),I'll get in about a week. Please post your results per your post and how easy it weas to operate.

Thanks for the replies guys...as Craiger noted..it would be a wise investment to buy this tool. I've got new "chrome clad" wheels coming in this week..so while I'm there,I'll ask about the tool.

I'm getting a set of new shoes on friday(ASA JH8 and 275-45-20's)from Tire rack and I would like to know if there is a over the counter tool to re-set my TPMS without having to go a tire dealer. Maybe it's too expensive,but I would like to do this procedure myself,instead of going to tire place twice a year. Any thoughts? Maybe a Ford tech might be listening? TIA

well...add me to this long list of wheels that peeled and pitted after just 6000 miles. Dealer is ordering me a new set..service manager was a bit pissed..saying this is the the 4th set in the last week. Hopefully this set won't do the same after next winter.

After talking to the Tire rack rep...he said that a Ford tech would have to re-set the TPMS.,they could not do it(so I would have the dash light on until I saw a Ford dealer to re-set). My question is,do I REALLY need this option? After all,it is an extra $330. I could spend a little more for tires instead. Opinions please...

AFTER TALKING TO THE tIRE RACK REP

I am looking to get new rims/tires for my 07 Edge and according to Tire Racks website,if I get their TPMS for the new wheel combo, I have to "relearn" their system to work with the OEM. Does anyone know what this is all about? I don't want to use the OEM from the whhels I have now,because I'll be using them for winter only. Thanks for any input.

What's agood cleaner to use on sill plates and other plastic pieces in the interior? I've had my dashboard replaced because of a scuff mark I tried to get out with simple green,so I am a bit hesitant to use such a strong cleaner.

Thnak you very much. I'll probably go with the 45. I knew someone would have the answer.

Most tire/wheel sites say what fits the Edge,but in offsets from 35 to 45. I'd like to keep the new rims as close to stock as possible. TIA

Thank you very much!!! Mine is working fine now.

I'm having trouble setting the memory/seat feature on my new Edge. My wife uses #1 tranmitter and everything works great for her. I use #2 transmitter and the seat function works fine,but the mirror goes to a generic setting. I have to tip the mirror up when ever I use the car. I'll press "set" like it says in the maunual and within 5 secs I'll press the "lock" or "unlock" button on the transmitter,then press "2" on the set button. It will not stay there if I exit the car and lock the door,because when I unlock the door to re-entry,the mirror moves the generic seting.If I don't lock the door,the mirror won't move from the last time I set it. I hope this makes sense to someone,because I don't know what i could be doing wrong and the dealer said they couln't find anything wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply...I need more reassurance replies like this one

Ours will be here in a couple of weeks NAPALVR My wife and I are going to Napa this Sept for the 4th time in 2.5yrs We love it out there and WINE

After a couple of weeks the "patch" painting of a scuff mark(that I tried to remove with simple green and found out the dash is painted,not molded in the camel color) on our camel colored dash has started to yellow. Now the dealer has to replace the entire top of the dash which means that EVERYTHING comes out including the seats and will take approx 1 week to finish. Needless to say, I'm very nervous that I'll have a rattle/squeak trap for the rest of the time I have this vehicle...hopefully they will get it done right the 1st time without a bunch of repeat trips for minor issues,such as this doesn't work anymore,etc. Would anybody else feel this way? Would you have complete faith in any dealer to do this right? Thanks for reading...I'll post results when I get the car back.

Detailed our new Edge last weekend and noticed a scuff mark on the dash panel near the A-pillar close to the windshield,tried to remove it with simple green/Mr Clean magic eraser...took the paint right off(I have the camel int). Took it to the dealer the next day and they said they could fix it without removing/replacing the panel. Got it back today and you'd be hard pressed to tell where they worked....needless to say, I'm very impressed with them. Also got the plastic bezel trim around the rear moonroof(I have the vista roof)repaired..no more rattle..at least for now. Looks like I made a smart choice buying from this dealer. Just my .02..you usually don't get many GOOD reports from dealership service depts.

Ever notice that the outer shape of the tail lights keep and hold quite a bit of water after a rain/wash? I asked the dealer about this before I bought my Edge after seeing every one on his lot looked the same,he said it's normal...hopefully the water won't get into the actual light area.

Yes I would say that the panel is cast in black and painted to match the interior. As long as I'm wearing sunglasses,the glare issue isn't a problem for me.

My 3day old Edge has a scuff mark on the dash up by the drivers A-pillar(on the light brown surface..I have camel int.),and I tried to remove it with Mr Clean magic-eraser...BIG mistake..now I have a brown magic-eraser...went to the dealer today and they said it could be fixed without replacing the panel. Have an appt. on 8/2..we'll see if they can fix it...from now on just a damp cloth and some Aerospace 303.

Thanks for the fast response...I see what you are talking about..I pressed mine back in place also and will monitor it to see if it becomes loose again.

I have the same rattle on my 3day old Edge and I'm not exactly sure where your description of the black platic bezel is located. Could you be more precise or take a pic where the rattle source is? Thanks.

Has anyone else here noticed that the sunshade rattles when closed going over moderate bumpy roads? Looks to me like the design of the shade is extreemly cheaply made. I expected a more rigid piece covered in fabric...mine is almost hollow when you push lightly on it(up). Might take back to the dealer tomorrow...only had the car 2 days...also, the cover that covers the spare tire...rattle,rattle,rattle....removed from car,now all is quiet...Ford still has some design/assembly issues that led me to buy an Acura...my wife still loves her Fords,and so did I until the 02 Escape my wife had previously to this Edge....cheapest vehicle I've ever owned...oh well, off my soapbox. Any info on the sunshade is appreciated.

My wife and I are picking up our new 07 Edge tomorrow and we are very excited!! This will be our 8th new Ford in the past 25yrs. Have read quite a few positive reviews on this vehicle and hopefully we'll get many happy and troublefree miles from her. We are located in SW lower Michigan(St. Joseph).
